More dumb question: Tyan i845 mobo.

So I'm trying to get me friend Pete's PC out of here since my buddy Deyv's PC just shipped and should be here end of this week/beginning of next week and I want to have a clear deck to focus on it. Pete's good peeps, but I had to pull a blanket of dust about a 1/2" thick off his CPU heatsink before I could boot his PC, I have a much harder time tweaking a system out that I know the owner don't take care of. I'm gonna get his running and back on it's feet, then let him screw it up however he wants.

Hey, a well tweaked system NEEDS some maintenance or your better off just going with a standard install! I'm just acknowledging that in advance and doing a standard install. (Well, I'm tweaking out most of the bloat and optimizing it at least...I'm just not gonna bother overclocking everything just to have it melt after some dust gathers on it. I took pictures of his heatsink, it was REALLY bad! )

So does anyone know anything about this mobo besides I don't happen to like it a whole lot right now? I'm not sure, but I don't really think he should be running PC133 in it, but I don't really know.
